They had many loose ideas as raw material, they wanted to organize it. They went to Valencia, Spain, to work with the director Sergio Claramunt, main teacher of clowning from both. They start giving “Ditu&Feitu” a shape.
In the meanwhile, for a clown show creation process needs an audience, they travel extensively through several European countries, presenting different versions of the work. Same year, in July, they build in Oporto the final version. Nevertheless, the show is still in continuous mutation.
Since then, the company has been presenting their first show “Ditu&Feitu” in Portugal, Spain, Germany and Brazil, besides its “crossing projects” with other companies from Portugal and Spain, or several solo presentations done by its members.
